This investigation studied relationships between life stress and adjustment in a sample of fifty-six 6th grade urban children. Stress was assessed using a 28-item event/circumstance (SLE-Cs) checklist, completed by parents. Adjustment, from the perspectives of classroom teachers, parents, and children, was separately assessed. Children also completed measures of social sup- port, empathy, locus of control, and perceived competence. Significant but moderate correlations were found between total number of SLE-Cs experienced and adjustment ratings across all three perspectives. Additionally, 18 of the 28 SLE-C items correlated significantly with adjustment measured from one or more perspectives, with some patterning of relationships between type of item and adjustment rating perspective.
